Rock band whose members are... the Brontë sisters?! Wait, the literary ones who wrote Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall? Um, yes apparently.
The 2021 stage musical Glass Town with book, music, and lyrics by Miriam Pultro re-imagines the siblings as a rock band. It's a bit more of a concept album than musical play. Pultro herself plays Charlotte Brontë .
Lineup:
- Charlotte (vox, keys) - Miriam Pultro
- Branwell (guitar, vox) - Eddy Marshall
- Emily (vox, bass) - Katrien Van Riel
- Anne (vox) - Emma Claye
A rock requiem starring the Brontë siblings -- Anne, most feminist and most faithful, a neosoul star; Emily, melancholy alt-rock prodigy; Branwell, full of the blues; and Charlotte, fiery frontwoman, desperate for recognition and love. A staged concept album that defies traditional musical theatre, Glass Town explores familial bonds, grief, and isolation, using the literary family as archetypal touchstones.
The band's name comes from shared fictional world the Brontë siblings created in their youth.
